Being in India for the first time this week was amazing and this Friday’s post is a tribute to a childhood song that I listened to as it received airplay on Channel [V] Asia. I can’t believe I would have listened to this song in primary school without understanding the lyrics other than the English chorus and some country names.

Alisha Chinai is an iconic Indian pop singer known for her versatile voice and captivating stage presence. With a career spanning over three decades, she has enthralled audiences with her melodious tunes and catchy beats. One of her most memorable hits, “Made In India,” catapulted her to stardom in the 1990s and became an anthem of the era. Released in 1995, the song not only showcased Alisha’s vocal prowess but also became a cultural phenomenon, celebrating the beauty and diversity of India. Its infectious rhythm, coupled with Alisha’s dynamic performance, made it an instant sensation, earning her widespread acclaim and cementing her status as one of India’s most beloved pop stars.
